博客來Field-Book for Railroad Engineers, by John Benjamin Henck, originally published in 1888, is a comprehensive manual for civil engineers involved in railroad construction and maintenance. This practical guide contains essential formulae for laying out curves, determining frog angles, leveling, and calculating earthwork. The book also includes extensive tables of radii, ordinates, deflections, long chords, logarithms, and logarithmic and natural sines.
Designed for use in the field, this book provides engineers with the tools necessary for accurate and efficient surveying and construction. The detailed explanations and practical examples make it an invaluable resource for both experienced professionals and students learning the principles of railroad engineering. This edition offers a glimpse into 19th-century engineering practices and serves as a valuable historical reference for understanding the development of modern railroad systems.
